Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A terminal device, comprising: a radio transceiver; and circuitry configured to: control the radio transceiver to receive: satellite station related information, and a Random Access Response (RAR) transmitted from a base station device, the RAR corresponds to a Random Access preamble which is transmitted from the terminal device to the base station device; and calculate a timing advance value for controlling a transmission timing of a signal to the base station device based on addition of a first value to a second value, wherein the first value is TA_satellite which is computed based on the satellite station related information and the second value is TA_normal which is contained in the received RAR.

2

2. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the satellite station related information includes at least one of: information of an orbital parameter for a satellite station, or information indicating a velocity of the satellite station, wherein the satellite station is one of same as the base station device or different from the base station device.

3

3. The terminal device according to claim 2 , wherein the information of the orbital parameter for the satellite station includes information indicating an inclination of the satellite station.

4

4. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the second value is based on a position of the terminal device in a cell provided by the base station device.

5

5. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum value of a range of the second value corresponds to a distance obtained by subtracting an altitude of the base station device from a specific distance, and the specific distance is between the base station device and an edge of a cell provided by the base station device.

6

6. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to switch a range of the timing advance value based on a maximum propagation delay, and the maximum propagation delay is based on an altitude of the base station device.

7

7. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the range of the timing advance value is switched by switching of a maximum value of the timing advance value.

8

8. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the range of the timing advance value is switched by switching of an adjusted particle size of the timing advance value.

9

9. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to switch the range of the timing advance value based on a minimum propagation delay, and the minimum propagation delay is based on the altitude of the base station device.

10

10. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to replace a range of the timing advance value with a specific range, and the specific range is based on an altitude of the base station device.

11

11. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to calculate the timing advance value based on a specific value, and the specific value is based on an altitude of the base station device.

12

12. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to control a cyclic prefix (CP) length based on a type of the base station device.

13

13. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein a notification of the satellite station related information is made using system information.

14

14. A base station device which performs communication with a terminal device, the base station device comprising: a radio transceiver; and circuitry configured to control the radio transceiver to transmit: satellite station related information to the terminal device, and a Random Access Response (RAR) corresponding to a Random Access preamble which is transmitted from the terminal device to the base station device, wherein a timing advance value for controlling a transmission timing of a signal from the terminal device is calculated by the terminal device based on addition of a first value to a second value, and the first value is TA_satellite which is computed based on the satellite station related information and the second value is TA_normal which is contained in the transmitted RAR.

15

15. The base station device according to claim 14 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to calculate the second value based on a position of the terminal device in a cell provided by the base station device.

16

16. A method of a terminal device, the method comprising: receiving: satellite station related information, and a Random Access Response (RAR) transmitted from a base station device, the RAR corresponds to a Random Access preamble which is transmitted from the terminal device to the base station device; and calculating a timing advance value for controlling a transmission timing of a signal to the base station device based on addition of a first value to a second value, wherein the first value is TA_satellite which is computed based on the satellite station related information and the second value is TA_normal which is contained in the received RAR.

17

17. A method of a base station device, the method comprising: transmitting: satellite station related information to the terminal device, and a Random Access Response (RAR) corresponding to a Random Access preamble which is transmitted from the terminal device to the base station device, wherein a timing advance value for controlling a transmission timing of a signal from the terminal device is calculated by the terminal device based on addition of a first value to a second value, and the first value is TA_satellite which is computed based on the satellite station related information and the second value is TA_normal which is contained in the transmitted RAR.
